At the moment I'd settle for getting the right note best two out of three.
I'm nearly there... YouTube vids to follow on completion. -
If I could have just one Fender...
...I'd be a happy bear. -
Funnily enough, I'm looking at the BA115 myself. I've played on a mate's and it seems pretty decent but I'm really quite a novice in this department. Are the alu ones bad then?
It's not as if I can wait and save for it or go much more expensive as I'll be shelling out for a lot of things in one hit. I'm already in trouble for increasing my budget on the new bass.
Help!?!?! -
My only bass

Avon Rose-Morris, Gibson Grabber copy. Will be buying a MIM Fender Jazz in a couple of weeks though. -
[quote name='Waldo' post='6556' date='May 25 2007, 03:07 PM']I say this each time one of these theads comes up: Andy Rourke, of The Smiths. Fantastic player.[/quote]
Spot on. Johnny Marr gets all the credit but Rourke's lines are just lovely. -
Yeah, I'm pretty similar in that respect as well but I've made a few things before and nobody died as a result.

Just thinking, can't imagine it'd be all that much work/expense to make your own custom case. Think you can get a huge sheet of 9mm MDF from B&Q for about a tenner. Can't cost that much for a load of thick foam. Also, 2 square metres of cheap velvety material (bought for Little Bear's Red Riding Hood Costume) came to £6.50. Some paint or plastic material for the outside. Add some hardware for around £20 odd quid and you could get a pretty spot on case exactly to your specs for about £60 all in.
The only problem is the labour which is always my sticking point. I'm seriously tempted to build my own case when I buy my new bass couple of weeks. I may do a build thread on it. Thing is, it's a really big if; I do get ideas and then apathy sets in quick. Mind you, I'm sure there's a load of things I may be missing here as well. -

[quote name='Tinman' post='5301' date='May 23 2007, 06:52 PM']I expect that would make sense if I actually understood what you were talking about [/quote]
Good point, I have a bad habit of being confusing.
[quote name='Bushmaster' post='5835' date='May 24 2007, 03:56 PM']It's a quote from Rush's "The Trees" ([i]Hemispheres[/i], 1979).[/quote]
That's the badger. -
I used to get the same pain in my hand when using Big Stubby picks. When I moved back to standard picks the pain went.
I now use a .71 guage which is probably all wrong in some people's eyes but it works for me. -
Be interesting to see what kind of effect it's having on vocalists.

[quote name='Tinman' post='5057' date='May 23 2007, 11:29 AM']The site raises some interesting points for me and explains why my Ibanez basses are so annoyingly bright - too much maple[/quote]
It's because the oaks are too lofty, grabbing up all the light, allegedly. -
Glad to hear that it all went well. You'll have a belter on Sunday now.
-
Good luck tonight.
Be sure to let us know how it went. -
Lots of mentions of Guildford up there. That'd be great.

BlueBear, played bass for a couple of years then stopped playing anything for about 7 years.
Just got back into playing around February, had my first ever audition last week and actually got the gig!
Now have a bit of a GAS problem which should be cured in the next couple of weeks. -
...and some golf trousers.
Good work chaps!
